6 Using the SD Card

• Using the SD (Secure Digital) card

Your camera comes with approximately 16MB of built-in fl ash memory for storing pictures/video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially available SD card. The camera senses whether a memory card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures accordingly. Note that you cannot save pictures to built-in fl ash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.

IMPORTANT!

Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.

Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.

SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of picture data. “Whenever you want to record, format or delete item in the SD Card, you must disable write protection.”

Inserting the SD Card

Turn off the camera and open the battery door as illustrated. Insert the SD card ensuring the card is inserted correctly as illustrated. Close the SD card door. Make sure that the terminal of the memory card is facing the front of the camera.

Removing the SD Card

IMPORTANT!

Never insert any other objects besides a SD memory card into the camera’s card slot. Doing so creates the risk of damaging the camera and card slot.

Make sure that the terminal of the memory card is facing towards the front of the camera.

Should water or any foreign objects ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the batteries or disconnect the AC adaptor, and contact your dealer or nearest service provider.
